--concerto, without doubt the most popular and grateful concerto written for the violin. No other concerto has enjoyed the popularity and the prestige that this work has enjoyed. It is one of the first to be attempted by the neophyte violinist and the last to be mastered by the mature artist.

Exhibits Meteor Specimens
Fort Hays State College Museum Loaned Collection
A new collection, secured for exhibition in the Fort Hays Kansas State College museum through the efforts of George F. Sternberg, paleontologist may recall to the minds of a few students on the campus, takes their parents and their children into the museum. Modoc meteor fall of September 2, 1905, the State College Leader recalls.
The story goes that when the huge meteor was about eight miles above the earth, it exploded into a number of fiery fragments, and continued to explode in rapid succession. It was light as day for a moment. The doors and windows rattled at Scott City, Kansas, and also at Syracuse, 75 miles southwest, and a fierce cannonading echoed from the sky and then grew fainter until it died out. Then came the whistling of rocks and with a dull thud, it was all over.
The collection in the museum includes a 10-pound specimen, the second largest ever found from the fall and a cast of the large 20-pound meteor, the original of which is on display at the American Museum. It has been loaned to the College museum by J. K. Freed, farmer living between Scott City and Modoc, on
Professor Waldemar Geltch head of the School of Fine Arts violin department has written the following analysis on Milstein and his program in order to help in the appreciation of those attending the concert tomorrow night: The program which Nathan Milstein, the sensational Russian violinist, will play at his recital in the University Auditorium Tuesday as part of the University Concert Course, covers a wide range of violin literature replete with interest to the connoisseur and the dilettant. His program opens with a composition of Vivaldi who annotated Bach by some twenty years. Vivaldi answered the call of the earl's duet to Milstein and was a splendid violinist and a profile composer numbering among his compositions some 150 concerto for violin and a large number of sonatas and miscellaneous works. His style is one of unsullied purity and clarity.
Geltch Writes Analysis of Milstein's Concert to Be Given Tomorrow Night
Next on the Milstein program is the famous Chaconne of Bach (1885). This number is the most monumental of the unaccompanied works of Bach. It appears in the fourth sonata for violin alone and makes the most exacting demands upon the performer. A chaconne is an old dance tune in three-four time and in this case has many variations built upon the theme.
Next on this interesting program comes the great Mendelssohn (1809)
whose farm both of the specimens were unearthed.
The old walks leading up to the library are no more. Today workman took the concrete slabs that ran parallel to the library and placed them in the "Most" in front of the building so that the dirt from the ground, which was covered with grass, was used for filling in the hole left when old Snow hall was razed.
Temporary steps will be placed beside the stone walk that now lead out
The second part of the program begins with two caprices by Paganiin, that greatest of sensations of any age. The eccentric and shadowy Nicola Paganini was born in Italy in 1784 and started Europe by his uncanny feats of virtuosity. Next on the program is the tender and expressive "Traumaterie" or Reverie of Schumann, that great romanticist among composers. The Bumble-bee of Rimsky-Korsakoff is an exejo and impressionistic piece of writing from the pen of one of the greatest Russian composers of the immediate past. This piece is followed by the fantastic and whimsical Minstrels of Debussy whose mystical abstractions have captured the aesthetic and disjunction of this world over. The last number of this abundant musical menu is a "tour de force" known as Scherzo-Tarantella by Wieniakina. This great violinist and composer was born in Poland in 1837 and represents the epitope of virtuosity. The great brilliance of the player is reflected in his compositions of which the Scherzo-Tarantella is a striking example.
Two other smaller specimens are included in the collection, one of which is a cross-section of one of the small meteors from the famous Xiqipilco, Mexican meteor.

Take Up Old Library Walks
The fourth specimen is a small piece of iron-stone pallisade, found in 1885 or 1886, to have been left from a famous fall in Kiowa county.
from the library. Also when the hole is filled in front of the library, more steps will be added to reach the new ground level.
Much rock of varying sizes is mixed with the earth in the mound, and this rock will be sorted out and taken to the crusher on the west side of the campus. It is less expensive to sort out and haul fragments than it is to blast out fresh rock.
Workment scraped off surface soil the Snow hall excavation to make room on the east, west, and north sides of the job and soil-soil when the filling job is finished.
